The Aberdeen Interprofessional Health and Social Care Education Initiative - Final Report  _{(June 2008)}

The three year project detailed in this report was funded by the Scottish Government Health Department and the findings enclosed within this report will be circulated to the Scottish Government, other relevant stakeholders and organisations.

The aim of this project, the Aberdeen Interprofessional Health and Social Care Education initiative, was to develop and deliver a common shared learning programme, as and where appropriate, to undergraduate and professional qualifying courses in medicine at the University of Aberdeen and pharmacy at The Robert Gordon University (RGU) and also to other heath and social care students within the Faculty of Health and Social Care at RGU.

The project has provided the foundation for integrated interprofessional education in the area of health and social care in Aberdeen. With continued support, this foundation will be built upon to ensure that the benefits of increased understanding and appreciation of the multidisciplinary teamwork involved in health and social care services throughout Scotland are maximised.
